Delta will fly daily from New York-JFK to Catania, Italy. It’ll be the first direct flight a U.S. carrier offers, and travelers can experience Sicily’s special culture and cuisine.

Service to Naples, Italy, also begins, flying four times weekly from Atlanta. Close by, the Amalfi Coast offers picturesque views, and Pompeii has a fascinating history.

Those interested in fashion and design should like the Boston to Milan route, which operates four times weekly. The flight will complement existing service from New York-JFK and Atlanta. 

Lastly, four weekly flights start between Minneapolis-St. Paul and Rome, connecting Delta’s second-largest hub with the storied city. That’ll boost Delta’s direct flights to Rome to five, joining Boston, Detroit, Atlanta, and New York-JFK.

Delta also adds new routes to Brussels, Dublin, Barcelona, Athens, Munich, and Zurich. 

Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President – Network Planning, said: “With over 700 weekly flights to 33 European destinations and beyond, we’re expanding access to key cities like Barcelona and Dublin with new routes, while introducing our first-ever nonstop service to Catania, Sicily.”

“We’ve also recently opened a stunning Delta One Lounge at JFK, with more to come at LAX, BOS, and SEA. Alongside the rollout of free international Wi-Fi and increased premium seating across our fleet, we’re ensuring our customers enjoy the best in connectivity and comfort from the moment they arrive at the airport to when they touch down.”
